Why do we say “You’ll Dig Our Beer”?

We have 20 taps in our taproom filled with a huge variety of in-house crafted beer and hard seltzer waters.

The most common thing our customers tell us is “You have something for everyone.”

That’s because we don’t have 17 IPA’s on tap. We usually have 3-5 IPA’s along with a few sours, belgians, germans, lagers, pilsners, seltzer waters, etc.

No matter your taste for beer, we have something you’ll dig.

This page sometimes is outdated by a day or two. If you want a current live look at our taplist, please visit https://taplist.io/taplist-813488

H.L.’s Pale Ale (Pale Ale - American)

H.L.’s Pale Ale is a highly aromatic and cleanly bitter beer with a crisp but fruity body.

Fun fact: H.L. means Homer Little. The grandfather of Jeremy Pittman (co-founder of Rockpit) and a coal miner for the Red Jacket Coal Company until 1959 when he moved his family to Florida.

Homer is the man we’ve paid homage to with our brewery.

ABV:5.5%
IBU:35

Miner’s Light (Lager - American Light)

Our interpretation of a light lager. One that actually has color and doesn’t taste like beer flavored water.

Light bodied and crisp, this is sure to please those enthusiastic Coors, Bud and Miller drinkers and introduce them to what beer is supposed to taste like. 

Even the most ardent craft beer lovers will appreciate this light lager as it’s the style of beer brewed long before the bland, boring beers took over the world. 

You’ll also notice there isn’t any rice in our light beer. 

Fun fact: If you substitute the E with an O in Miner’s, this beer takes on a whole new meaning. One that we want to avoid. 

ABV:4.7%
IBU:

Cackler IPA (IPA - American)

Medium-light in body with crisp, clean upfront bitterness. You’ll want to take time to savor the strong tropical and citrus notes that are prevalent in this all-american IPA.

Fun fact: A “Cackler” is what they called a miner who let others do the heavy work.

Sort of like Derek Zoolander (Click for video).

Check in on Untappd
ABV:7.2%
IBU:60
Hops:Magnum, Cascade, Centennial, Chinook

Blackstrap Con Leche (Stout - Milk / Sweet)

This coffee milk stout is smooth and silky with roasted coffee tones and a creamy finish. So easy drinking, yet totally anomalous.

Fun fact: Black strap is what miners called coffee. It’s also what they called the oil that went into their oil lamps in the early 1900’s. Which makes us think a lot of miners drank really bad coffee.

Luckily we used a VERY good coffee in this beer which you’ll absolutely appreciate when that first sip hits your tongue. 

Oh and “con leche” is spanish for “with milk”. This beer has nothing to do with Spanish culture but we couldn’t think of anything better to use. “With Milk” doesn’t look or sound cool at all. “Con Leche” looks and sound really cool. 

Go on… Say it… “con leche”.

Now say it with a Spanish accent. You feel cool, right?

ABV:6.2%
IBU:30
Other:Lactose, Fresh Coffee

SoDo Blondin (RPB House Blonde)

Our RPB house blonde that’s easy drinking with a light, crisp finish.

Fun fact: Blondin’s are aerial ropeways used in open pits in slate quarries to transport wagon loads of rock between locations.

ABV:6%
IBU:18
Malts:2-row, White Wheat, Golden Naked Oats, Honey Malt
Hops:Magnum, Cascade

Black The RIIPA (Black Rye Double IPA)

Looking for a “killer” beer to terrorize your taste buds?

You’re in luck!

Our Black Rye Double IPA called Black The RIIPA is slightly roasty, piney, and fruity.  It will terrorize your taste buds into begging you to stop, with your brain screaming at you for more.

Yes, it’s that good!

Coming in at 9.3% ABV, it’s going to be one you’ll need to sip for a while to let the terror reign for as long as possible.

And you’ll love every sip of terror.

On tap Thursday 2/18.

ABV:9.5%
IBU:60

Tartan Soldier (Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy)

Treated with Madagascar Vanilla this scotch ale is bursting with sweet malty tones and a hint of smoked oak chips. Collaboration beer with Castle Church Brewing

ABV:8.5%
IBU:

Be My Sourtine (Hibiscus & Rose Hips Berliner)

Our signature berliner weisse beer treated with hibiscus and rose hips to give it a berry-like, fruity and floral flavor as well as naturally give the beer a pink hue.

ABV:5%
IBU:1

Nightcap (Porter - Baltic)

I gave Sean some of this last night. His eyes got big after the first sip and said “Dude, this might be one of the best beers we’ve ever made here.”

I agree. It’s so smooth and easy drinking. Not something you usually say about a Baltic Porter.

You’ll get hints of chocolate, caramel, and coffee.

ABV:8%
IBU:30

Guy By The Fire (Belgian Dubbel)

Clocking in a malty and smooth 8% ABV, this is one of those beers that makes you say “Wait? This is 8%? No way”.

You’ll get loads of dark sweet fruit flavor in both the aroma and the flavor.

ABV:8%
IBU:

Strawberry Lemon Rock Hard Water (Hard Seltzer)

Our signature Rock Hard Water aged with 160 lbs of Strawberry puree and 100 freshly juiced & zested lemons

ABV:5.5%
IBU:

Escape – Pineapple Coconut Rock Hard Water

This one will let you escape to the tropics when you close your eyes and take that first sip. Light and refreshing with fresh pineapple puree and toasted coconut.

ABV:5.5%
IBU:

Buried Sunshine

Buried Sunshine is a New England IPA shining with the brightness of tropical fruits such as mango, guava, citrus with slight hint of coconut. Soft bitterness with full body and mouthfeel. Coal Miner’s used to call coal “Buried Sunshine” in reference to, “Its just as good as finding gold”!

ABV:7.2%
IBU:40

Geschmack Yourself (Sour - Berliner Weisse)

Geschmack Yourself – Berliner Weisse with your choice of syrup

Meaning “flavor yourself,” this is our signature Berliner Weisse with your choice of an ever-changing lineup of syrups including raspberry, peach, pumpkin spices and more

The traditional way of enjoying a Berliner Weisse in Germany is with a Raspberry or Woodruff syrup, so we figured we’d bring the fun to RockPit. Cheers to our good friend Joe Wright for coming up with the name.

Please note that the syrups will change frequently as we experiment (i.e. drink lots of it) to figure out some flavor combinations you’ll love.

ABV:5%
IBU:1

Yankee Savage – New England IPA (IPA - New England)

Yankee Savage is our original New England IPA and what we judge all of our other NEIPAs by. We’ve tweaked the recipe to give it better balance, more mouthfeel, and softer bitterness.

Brewed and dry-hopped with Citra, Azacca and Motueka hops for a citrusy, hoppy and smooth NEIPA.

It is back on tap, grab a pint in the taproom or take some to-go.

ABV:6.2%
IBU:34

SXL Chocolate (Porter - American)

Like Randy Watson loves his band Sexual Chocolate in the movie Coming to America, you’ll love this smooth, roasty and super chocolatey porter appropriately named SXL Chocolate.

Aged on cacao nibs for a few weeks, the chocolate is the star in both the aroma and flavor.

If you like porters, this one is for you. We think you’ll dig it.

6.2% ABV | 40 IBU

ABV:5.9%
IBU:40

The only email locals read every week.

Every week, co-founder Chris Rock sends out a few emails that's been described as "must-read" or "the only email I read" by subscribers. Why?

Because he doesn't send the typical "Here's what happening at xyz brewery this week" type of emails.

Instead he sends insider stories, funny content, what beer will be on our taps soon (so you can plan accordingly) and upcoming events at RockPit.

So join in on the fun and enter your email address below.

Back on tap 🍍 Escape - Pineapple Coconut Hardw Back on tap 🍍  Escape - Pineapple Coconut Hardwater  We had Escape on tap a few months back. We wanted to try it again with more pineapple and more coconut seeing as the last version was good but could be better. 🥥  As is the case for most of our beer according to Jeremy.  In this case, he was definitely right. Loads more pineapple and coconut flavors in this bad boy!  On tap now.
Back on tap 🍻 Guy By The Fire - Belgian Dubbel Back on tap 🍻  Guy By The Fire - Belgian Dubbel - 8% ABV  We released Guy By The Fire back in early January. We tucked a keg away to let it age a bit and get some more complex flavors in it.  It worked.  Clocking in a malty and smooth 8% ABV, this is one of those beers that makes you say “Wait? This is 8%? No way.”  You’ll get loads of dark sweet fruit flavor in both the aroma and the flavor.  On tap now.
